Bletilla striata
Used to be called the Woolworth orchid... when we had Woolworths !
It grows cool , quite useless in my present set-up where I have just one temperature aimed at pleasing Vandas and cattleyas.
So when I moved here from my previous house whereI did have have several different greenhouses, maintained at quite different temperatures, I planted the potful out in the garden. Some years the new growths get caught by a late frost , or by wandering slugs, but this year I have maybe a dozen growths, spread over a small area, and can see the flowers ; just one stem shown here.
